Stages are reversed!

Basically, for some reason kerbal is putting my first stage as my parachute and stuff, then my "last" stage as the engines. So when I press the spacebar to start my engines, instead it launches my capsule out.

How do you build the rocket? You are supposed to build it from the capsule down, not from the engines up.

If you're building a Saturn 5, you build the capsule that will splash down, then the part that will land on the Mun and come home, then the part that will get that to Mun, then the launcher stages. You don't start with the big bottom stage and work up.

If that's not the problem, I'm not sure what could be.

you can move the stuff between stages by clicking and dragging. so you ahve to manually move the engines to the first stage and the parachute to the last stage.
